Protecting the environment with intelligence

What you can do

Leaving a Legacy to EIA

Have you considered leaving more than just footprints? Remembering EIA in your Will is one of the most valuable ways you can support us and ensure our vital work continues.

Fundraise for us

Many of our supporters go to great lengths testing endurance or creativity to raise much needed funds for EIA. The fundraising possibilities are endless; from cake stalls to boot sales, to sponsored shave to the London marathon, there are many ways to fundraise.

Give As You Earn

Does your employer subscribe to the Give As You Earn scheme? If so, it’s simple to start and it’s tax free; it’s the most cost-effective way you can support EIA.

With Give As You Earn you can give directly from your pre-tax salary, so money that would normally go to the taxman goes to charity instead.

You just decide how much you want to give each month, then your donation comes out of your pay packet before the taxman touches it.

Any money you donate is worth more to EIA and to you, because it is deducted from your earnings before they are taxed. If you’re a basic rate taxpayer, a gift of £5 only actually costs you £4 – so you can pass the tax relief on to protecting the environment with EIA. Interested in Payroll giving? Let us know.

Special Occasion

Do you have a birthday or a wedding coming up, choose to donate in celebration to EIA. Or donate in memory of a loved one.

Sell your items on eBay

When you sell your old goods on eBay you can choose to donate a percentage of the final selling price to EIA. All you need to do is select EIA on the ‘My Favourite Charities’ page in your eBay Donation Account.

China's blow to recycling means increased demand for brand new plastic - and the USA is cashing in

At a time when the apparent scale of global plastic pollution is spurring many nations to take action to reduce manufacture and prevent plastic waste from further polluting the environment, opening new polyethylene plants is reckless and irresponsible, akin to opening new CFC production factories after we first discovered ozone depletion.

And guess what? The same companies that punched a continent-sized hole in the ozone layer are still involved …

The world’s governments need to focus on reducing production of virgin plastics and investing in domestic reuse and recycling – continued growth of plastic production will just perpetuate the throwaway society and marine plastic pollution.

The loss of forests in Africa in the past century is substantially less than previously estimated, an analysis of historical records and paleontology evidence by Yale researchers shows.

Previous estimates put deforestation at 35% to 55% on the continent since 1900. The new analysis estimates closed-canopy forests have shrunk by 21.7%, according to findings published Dec. 11 in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. However, research also shows that some West and East African forests have been reduced between 80% and 90%.

International award recognises EIA’s ‘unique’ climate investigations and work

We were delighted to be among 60 recipients recognised in the Ozone Awards 2017 by Parties to the Montreal Protocol for extraordinary commitment and outstanding contributions to fighting climate change.

EIA was singled out for a Partnership Award in recognition of its unique contributions over several decades. The Secretariat noted: “From hard-hitting investigations on illegal ODS trade to successful advocacy to accelerate the HCFC phase-out and adopt a global HFC phase-down, EIA plays a unique and valuable role within the Montreal Protocol family."
